The Segway Ninebot MAX G2 A Heavy Rider's Point Of View Is It Worth Buying?

[@philipjean6309]

I weigh 175 and I've had no issues at all with my G2 and I love this Scooter and it feels fast enough. The weight of the rider must definitely make a big difference in speed. They JUST rolled out a new firmware update to help with overheating and also to shut off regen. I had regen on weak for awhile then on mediumn and have felt the brakes are not as strong. IDK. SO far I have done about 60 Miles in the week that I've had it and paid $999 on Amazon for it. Also when keeping to the far right remember to pay close attention to people in their cars about to open their doors. You can set the acceleration to 0 start instead of having to kickstart.

[@THEAVERAGEGUY1983]

You're very welcome! I actually did this video because there were a few people who were asking Ginger On Wheels if they would be ok to purchase this scooter being 300lbs and he never answered them back, im guessing its because he is 230lbsnso i figured, maybe I should do one and see what happens. I'm glad i did. If you have any further questions, please feel free to ask.

I'm a big guy, 300+ and looking for a scooter. This video was great, with normal commuting instead of every other channel speed-racing and off-roading. The funniest thing is that you complained about the miles vs km and f vs c degrees. It's practicality just the us and like 3 countries in the world still using miles and Fahrenheit, time to catch up with the rest of the world us. Great video, and keep it up with the weight loss. The struggle is real. It's not easy being a big guy. Nothing fits like it should, not even an electric scooter.

[@THEAVERAGEGUY1983]

Right on! Thank you so much for the positive feedback. About the temp in Celcius and miles vs. kilometers, i wondered why we are the only ones still using this method, lol! 😂 and as for the weight loss, thank you, man. It's been hell, but I've been keeping up. Im finally at 298 lbs but still have a long way to go. The MAX G2 is a great scooter for commuting, and i still recommend it.

[@JRWilson242]

I had the MAX G2 and loved every part of it, but was so, so sad that they didn't increase the battery to 48V. It's so disappointing it loses speed and performance when the battery drops from 50% otherwise it would be absolutely perfect in every way. I've now gone back to the Inokim OX Super which is a 60V scooter. Fantastic review though buddy, it just shows this scooter is for everyone and is a near perfect commuter, regardless of the 36V battery. I would still recommend it to anyone, without a doubt. It's a very, very reliable scooter.

[@THEAVERAGEGUY1983]

i agree the max G2 is definitely a great scooter specially if you ride it on flat surfaces. it will give you very good range.

[@alanw.4511]

Good point about the regen increasing the heat. Plus your added weight puts more energy into the battery, as your scooter would roll longer than a lighter rider's scooter under the same conditions.

[@THEAVERAGEGUY1983]

Yep. Its gotten a whole lot better with master control version 1.5.2 and 1.5.3 whay ive noticed is the Torque we lost in this version, we got back plus the regen braking remains off while riding on flat roads, if you go down a steep hill you can turn regen breaking on from the app as long as your phone is connected to the scooter and you have it mounted to the handlebar for easy access, you can just tap on the screen and turn off or on while riding. Very convenient to get some trickle charging in.

[@johnstover4584]

You have to treat every vehicle like they don't see you. So many of them at cross walks will just come out and go when it's green for you. Especially when a truck is in the middle lane creeping blocking view of you. I always go slow and wide even when they see me. Then the pedestrians with headphones will never hear the beep so you have slam on your brakes and go around them somehow. I hate my town to many places with no bike lanes and crappy sidewalks. Stay safe.

Yeah its definitely a bit on the scary side because a car door can definitely open up at random without the driver of the car noticing you are about to pass by but its part of the rules of riding scooters on the street when there are no bike lanes available. I do wish they made more though. 😅

Thank you for giving me the confidence to buy and ride a scooter. I live in Toronto, Canada and I weigh 290 pounds. Everything I need is a 20-minute car ride from where I live. So I gave my wife our car and bought a scooter last week. I got the Apollo Phantom 2024 edition and I'm really enjoying it. It's made here in Canada, so that's like the main reason, as buying things from the states can be tricky for us Canadians. I love this scooter, it's rated to handle my big self and it packs a punch and stops on a dime. I ride it on the sidewalks as I still haven't worked the courage to ride it on the roads yet, cause we have some pretty crazy drivers here in Toronto who show no respect to the people on 2 wheels or 1. But one day, I hope to ride like you...smart, safe and confident. Again, thanks for your video and commentary, as it gave this guy the confidence to buy his very first scooter. Stay safe and have fun.

Great scooter and glad it comes with shocks. I had the previous Max and that was my main reason on getting rid of it and upgrade to the Segway P100S. To tell you the truth, I would have purchase this G2 if it came out first. I love my P100S but I don't see myself going 30 MPH on a scooter. I've never unlocked the ultimate spots mode on my scooter. Thanks for the link for the headlight. I ended up purchasing two for my e-bike and scooter.

[@THEAVERAGEGUY1983]

Sweet! Yeah the max G2 is a pretty nice scooter man i like it alot. I got into an accident with it and only the handlebar bent and the kickstand broke but the rest of the scooter stayed solid. So i got a GT1 to use while i wait for parts to be available for the Max G2. Glad you got the headlights. They are extremely bright and ive only had to use setting number 1 out of the 4 settings it has.

[@renedugas2396]

a good solution for the cars behind you, if you can see the cars clearly in your mirror. it's to drive in the lane, more towards the center, the cars will respect you and be afraid of hitting you and when they are close to you you move to the right. I tried this technique and I'm much safer than when I stood completely to the right, it's surprising how well it works

[@THEAVERAGEGUY1983]

That's really good. Im not sure where you live, but that is definitely nice of the driver to do. Were i live, they dislike slower bicycles and scooter riders doing that and will honk at you or rev their cars to get you to get off the road, lol. This is why i had installed a dashcam on my scooters as well, its just a way to protect myself from drivers incase they cause an accident and flee. Ill have what they did along with their license plates recorded to show to police when they arrive to wherever i may be sitting at waiting for them due to the accident. Ive had way too many close calls to try that. But im definitely glad it works for you. I wish drivers were that polite here.

[@renedugas2396]

@@THEAVERAGEGUY1983 I'm from Montreal and I can tell you that the drivers here are not polite. I even had water thrown from a bottle in my face. here people are crazy, the worst are the young men of 30, when they see a scooter, they go crazy. If they could, they would follow me with their car onto the bike path, honking at me. at first I didn't believe in this technique, it's a cyclist who has an electric bike at my work who used this way of driving his electric bike and it works very well. It's a bit like the farmer who drives his farm equipment on the road to change land to cultivate. he blocks everyone with his presence. and this has the opposite effect, people are respectful and understand the danger of your presence on the road, you therefore represent a threat to them. what is dangerous is to leave the entire road to those who follow you by driving completely to the right, they will pass you at high speed and honk at you knowing that they are in no danger of hitting you. if you scare them by your presence far away on the road by driving in the center of the lane, they will see you as a threat to them, they will therefore hold you in a position of strength, when you drive on the right, they will see you as weak and despise you. consider that the leaders are sheep, they follow those who precede them. the trick is to stop the momentum of the first vehicle behind you and ask it to respect you, once this one has taken you into consideration all the others behind will follow it in the same way. the opposite is also true. This car serves as your protection because it stops everyone behind it. The opposite is also true, if you stay on the right for fear of the cars, all those who follow will try to intimidate you. I live in Quebec, here we are French and believe me there is nothing crazier than French people behind the wheel of a car

[@THEAVERAGEGUY1983]

@thomasstorbugt6829 Cool, for the MAX G2, it can handle slight hills. It will just run a little bit slower. Like me, you will definitely want to keep your scooter in sport mode and set the max speed on the app to its max of 22mph, when you go up a slight hill it will slow down from its max 22mph speed to about 15mph depending how heavy you are and how big the hill is and once you reach a flat road it will increase the speed back to 22mph. It's a nice scooter for commuting. Im at 292 lbs right now, and with my current weight, i get 18 miles of range out of the 25 miles it claims it can do in sport mode. That is super impressive to me as a big dude.

[@renedugas2396]

I'm hesitating between buying a Segway PS100 and a Segway G2. but I think I'm going to buy Segway G2, the Segway PS100 is big and reminds me more of my motorcycle than a scooter.

Hi Alan, Yep, i bought mine at bestbuy. I pre ordered it online and picked it up at my local bestbuy at Atwater village which is the City of Glendale store. I dont recall getting offered a warranty for the scooter but i didnt have enough to pay for that extra service. As for repairs from bestbuy, i have only had minor experience with an AV receiver that was having HDMI connection problems and they refused to replace it for a while till i had to make threats to sue them on their warranty repair process. The manager at the same store eventually allowed me to replace the receiver for a newer unit and pay the small difference with a warranty purchase as a requirement.

I really wanted to like this scooter. I had to drop my car off for some shop work about 9.5 miles away from my house, so I bought this in advance. Drop my car off and about 100 feet into my journey home and get error code #21 and a series of beeping sounds. The app describes the error as: "This alarm is caused by a communication failure between the battery and the controller", then it instructs me to remove the bottom cover. I wanted to do that but was 15 miles from home. I ended up doing the trip in the weird diagnostic mode that gives ~10% power, barely enough to move the scooter with no one on it. I kicked most of the way back home whenever I wasn't going slightly downhill which took about 2 hours. Then when I got home I discovered my allen wrenches wouldn't fit the screw holes since NineBot used these weird chinese-made Allen screws with a raised metal center in the hole. Why do that? I couldn't insert my tools? I can't even take the cover off. Returning this product back to Best Buy, very disappointed, and had to do an excruciating walk while stranded miles from home.

[@THEAVERAGEGUY1983]

Im sorry you experienced that. I havent been able to my max G2 since my accident on it because the handlebar is bent but i got about 250 miles on it and never had that kind of problem with it. When it comes to the screws, they arent chinese 😅 They are called Security Torx screws and they have those to prevent tampering with the battery and unfortunately you can only get thoae Security Torx bits online. I have all those tools for the purpose of repairing mt own scooters but i can definitely feel your frustration with it. My not give the Apollo Go a try? That one does cost a bit more but it does have dual motors which is something i wish the max G2 had.

[@charlesbrown179]

@@THEAVERAGEGUY1983 I ended up getting an INMOTION V11Y (unicycle), with the optional seat. Pretty easy to control with the high seat and I've avoided a lot of beginner spills. I almost went for their RS scooter which is a crazy 60+ mph scooter, but weighs 128 pounds. The unicycle is about 60 pounds and even though it has a steep learning curve I've done well and have no regrets. Zero failures whatsoever and the battery life is amazing. As far as Segway is concerned I consider their scooters fail products. The security torx bolts were a dumb addition that will only piss off their consumers. Now I know what brand to stay away from, unfortunately.

Thoughtful & thorough review with pro tips and all. This scooter is on top of my list as well as the segway p100. I like the better specs on the p100 but I do like the subtle & modest look on the Max G2. What are your thoughts given a few more weeks on the max G2?

[@THEAVERAGEGUY1983]

Very good question, im going to be answering that in the next video im making in the next day or two. There are some small issues i came across with the new master control firmware update V1.4.8 that i gotta bring up which may change people's decision on buying the MAX G2 and just pay a bit more and go for the P100S instead. I will get to work on it tomorrow since is labor day and i dont work that day. 😎👍

Hi, i definitely still do. Its a wonderful scooter. However if you can afford to pay a Bit more the Apollo Go is another scooter that would be a worthy opponent for the MAX G2 when it comes to performance.

[@shawnm.8416]

thanks for such a comprehensive and realistic review! im seriously considering the g2 and wondering if you would recommend buying an extended warranty and if so any suggestions as to what company would offer the best coverage? also, any idea what a replacement battery would cost if the battery dies?

[@THEAVERAGEGUY1983]

Thank you so much for the feedback, as for a good dealer offering an extended warranty im not sure who would give the best experience when dealing with extended warranty work or replacement. As for the battery, considering that the previous model G30 has the battery for $349.00 USD ot may possibly cost around $400.00 USD the battery sometimes cost about 30 to 40% of the whole scooter. 😬 but many people had their G30 previous model scooter for 3 years using the same battery and still getting 80% of their original range. So im sure the battery will last for many Years.

[@TheBikemaster94]

Yeah , I highly recommend a service plan . Modern stuff has so many electronic parts that can fail. I have relatives tell me about a brand new stove, Washer, and fridge that had issues in their first year .

[@TheBikemaster94]

I still use a fridge from 1985 . it just has rust bubblez. My old 1990 Civic only needed oil changes and tires. Then I got a 2020 versa , after 2 years the computer had to be programmed. Then the radio and dash lost power. You can buy commercial appliances and classic vehicles , if built right they can be lower maintenance than the new stuff but they will consume more energy . Ultimately you have to choose whether you want reliability or lower energy cost but with higher chance of failure. Another thing you can do is get a new car that's popular and has port injection , there will be plenty of replacement parts at good prices when you need them. Look at the cars that are popular with fleets. Tacoma, Tahoe, Ram . You can also do a bit of research. I was so close to getting a buick Lacrosse but then I saw stuff online talking about the major transmission issues, then I looked at Mini and people spoke about electrical issues. I think the Camry V6 is a great choice, it shares parts with Lexus ES. I would skip any hybrid version unless you live in areas with high fuel cost just remember it's going to be more maintenance. The same goes for AWD models , unless your area has snowy and Icy winters That's just another maintenance cost.

[@jacquesjean1694]

Hi bro thank you for your video. I weigh 286 lbs (130kg) and I'm hesitating between the G2 max et and the f2 pro E. Which one do you recommed ? I notices that the rear suspension suffer a lot when the rider is heavy.

[@THEAVERAGEGUY1983]

@jacquesjean1694 it does just a bit but its overall pretty good having it close to its max stiff setting on the MAX G2. Infact im now at 285lbs and its been doing much better. In all honesty i think the MAX G2 is an excellent scooter, it may not give as much range for a person my current weight size but now that the Regen breaking can be set to off, it takes a while before it overheats.

[@jerrysilva4914]

Can you disable the low range warning? Seems really annoying if you're trying to get home

[@macbrebonicks8668]

There are too many Fast and the Furious Scooter videos, there are very few Slow and Cautious videos. If you were to stop and charge the scooter how long would it take to get a decent charge and will it overheat while charging?

[@THEAVERAGEGUY1983]

The overheating while charging would depend on the current temperature of the scooter while it was being ridden. If you can get a 5 amp charger, it would charge to 100% in under 3 hours, so if you have 50% battery life and put it to charge. In about 1.5 hours or maybe a bit less, you would have a fully charged battery. What i usually do is wait about an hour or 2 for the scooter battery to cool down to as close as 29C as i can get it based on the app info and then continue my ride. The built in charger is only 2 Amps so it takes about 7 hours for the battery to charge to 100% from a really low state. So it would take 3.5 hours to charge from 50% and then you have the cool down period to take into account specially with the built in charger next to the master controller. Inside the deck there is a metal wall between the battery and Master Controller/ built in charger to somewhat slow down the temps of the charger reaching the battery and making the temp higher.

Here's my experience ( weight 103 kg), full charge between s and D mode i managed to do 25 km (temperature 10c°),seen many people saying i did 30 plus km and weighing way more than me .. scooter is new that was the first use,hope you get your answer here..

[@THEAVERAGEGUY1983]

@ber.01 This is definitely some great feedback. This is actually a really good scooter, but now there are so many more better performance scooter options for the same price including new scooters from segway like the ZT3 Pro and depending on what country the buyer is in, they may be speed restricted only making it ideal to look at the watt hour of Amp hour of the battery to get the most range out of it and 15Mph etc. 👍

[@abc17tg]

Maybe good to check tire pressure and use regenerative braking instead of normal brake. Seems low as I around 90kg (with clothes and backpack for sure more than 100) can make a little more than 30km on 5yo G30 Max

[@smefour]

The latest firmware version is 1.4.8 which is suppose to manage heating better, do you know the version you ran in this test?

[@THEAVERAGEGUY1983]

Hello, yes, i mentioned it before i took the max g2 for the spin. It was master control version 1.4.4. I've been riding my Max G2 to run my normal errands under master control V1.4.8 and noticed that the torque has been reduced to the point where it's very noticeable. The speed in the MaX G2 display says its going 22Mph but on the app it says 21.7Mph and wont go any furher, on my Gopro Hero 10 GPS it also says 21Mph so i feel segway reduced to speed and the Torque to slow down overheating. I want to re do the test and record the experience, but this time, I will make the video a lot shorted and still get the results. For me, it hasnt overhrated yet, but i haven't gotten it to 40C and above yet whenever i run my errands in the city. But for sure, the Torque and MAX speed has been slowed down a bit. I would like to try out the Inmotion Climber, but i don't know where i could rent one from here in LA or if that's even possible. I've been seeing great reviews on that one, but it also has a shorter battery life than the MAX G2 and no suspension at all with tube tires for the same price. 🤔🧐

Automatic thumbs up for that 😎👍 As for the $799.99 price, it was on a pre order sale before it got released so i ended up getting it for that IndiGogo price, i got really lucky there. I think this scooter is great for its price but...... if you live around medium to large size hills you might want to look for something with more power. This scooter left me impressed, right now im 292Lbs and the scooter gives me 18 miles of range in sport mode out of the 25 miles of range it says it can do via the app. Thats only 6 miles less than what it says it can do. If a BIG guy like me can get that much range, any slimmer person could easily get even more. I honestly recommend it. I think $899.99 is a great price but like i mentioned in my video, above $999.99 there are better dual motor options specially for hill climbs. 😎👊

[@THEAVERAGEGUY1983]

It will do pretty well. Im 287 pounds right now and have been getting 19 miles in sport mode with 48 degree Fahrenheit weather. So i think at 36 degrees Fahrenheit it will do very good.

It will definitely do pretty good.

Oh 1 more little tip, if you have a tire inflator, always keep your tires at 55psi it will definitely help with the range vs the standard 43psi or 45psi. I forgot to mention that in the message i just left.

@HelloMyFriend_ ah that should give you some decent speed as well going back home. For me on my max G2 it does lower it self on speed when it reaches the 3rd battery icon which on the app its around 60% it drops from 22mph to 18mph. But taking your charger isnt a bad idea either. Just let the scooter cool down first for about 1 hour before plugging in the charger. It will keep the temp down. 😁👊
